I believe I have the newest TP manufactured, (11/7/08,) and it still has many glarying, device-crippling defects.

I love this phone too and I want it to WORK. Of course, if HTC and/or Sprint cannot deliver, then I will find another phone. I would hardly call it trolling to point out that most people here are pulling the wool over their OWN eyes, and pretending like there are no critical flaws with this phone. So far, the other main poll going on is saying that MOST people ARE having trouble with their Pro. Interesting news--and saddening, because it really lowers my chances, (as well as anyone else,) of getting a "perfect" Touch Pro.
I think you need to re-read my Signature you missed something.

I have no heat problems with my TP, however, I will agree that this device uses more power than my iGo charged can supply. I put this puppy to the test today I drove from Dallas to Oklahoma City, I ran the GPS using Telenav all the way both ways Touch Pro plugged in and charging. On my way to OK City I had a continuous stream of calls 60 total, I get a lot of calls, after each call I went straight back to Telenav after 4 hours my battery had dropped 2 bars to 80%. I worked for 4 hours during which time I was making calls taking pictures and surfing the Internet when I got in my truck to head home I was at 50%. I then Drove home 4 more hours had 22 more calls ran Telenav all the way, battery was at 30% when I got to my house. My TP never got hot, with the screen on Telenav running my TP got warm but was never hot to the touch front or back. I have noticed that during long calls the back will get warmer from the battery drain but that's the only time my TP ever gets hot. I know that these batteries put off heat when they discharge that is what I contribute the heat to not charging.

I want to get me a power converter so I can use the OEM charger in my truck so I can find out if it is the charger not putting out enough power that is causing my TP to use more battery than it is gaining from charging. I know that my TP will charge and gain not loose when I am at home running WIFI and surfing the Net but it is hard to test the GPS and data use when I am siting still
